Molekule (Accelerator)

Company Description: Molekule is a San Francisco-based science and clean air company that has developed a fundamentally new approach to cleaning air. While current air purifiers are essentially trying to catch pollutants in filters, Molekule uses nanotechnology to break down and completely eliminate pollutants on a molecular level. How do Molekule air purifiers work? Developed over 25 years by research scientists, PECO is an innovative technology that uses free radicals—the same radicals used to destroy cancer cells—to break down pollutants at a molecular level, including viruses, bacteria, mold, ozone, allergens, and chemicals. By combining PECO nanotechnology with high-efficiency filtration and air quality sensors, Molekule air purifiers can capture particles found in smoke, while detecting and destroying pollutants 1000 times smaller than the standard filters must meet to qualify as HEPA. As tested by Intertek, a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL), Molekule’s PECO technology destroys VOCs without re-release, unlike any other technology available.
